Hey lads, how isw yer Zenithink c91's doing?

Mine isn't booting up properly. Pressing the power button bringsup lines across a white screen and turns into a black screen after a few seconds. I pressed the reset button with a pin and held it for a few seconds but no joy, pressing the power button just brings up the screen with the lines again.

Anyone else get this or know to fix it?

Have read this thread, they all seem to be a bit hit and miss, wrong adaptors, dead pixels, having to reset etc etc.

Sheedy did you complain to the shipper regarding the matters you had? If so what was the feedback?

Cheers

Well for the price of them it was half expected. Mine is working away grand, apart from a strange glitch in that the battery level on the screen stays constant no matter how much I charge it.

Basically it says I have a low battery for about 7 hours straight. There's a new patch from Zenithink out so I'm going to install that when I get home.

Also I had a problem where if I tapped the back of the device the screen would flicker black and white lines. I opened it and it turned out the ribbon cable connector was half open, so the cable had room to wiggle about. I closed it and put some tape across it which solved the problem.

I sent numerous e-mails and was basically told since it is over 3 months old (conveniently), they cannot ship me a new one and I am responsible for shipment so I left it at that.

I bought an Archos 101 G9 in Argos last week for 180 euro. Going flying it but now things keep popping up on the screen as if someone is pressing all over the screen. I think I might have to bring it back. Not having the best luck with tablets Still refuse to pay 500 quid for on tho!

Right, after a few weeks of touchscreen problems with the Archos 101 and all troubleshooting done, I brought it back to Argos and they gave me another one. Had it one day before the same problems occuring. When you power it on, the 'back' button keeps flashing as if someone is constantly pressing it so I can't open anything, can't even power it off without doing a force close. I installed new firmware, recalibrated touchscreen and factory reset and still the same issues.

I don't know if anyone else has one of these and if it works okay for you but 2 in a row with the same touchscreen problems is awful. Atrocious piece of hardware. At least Argos gave me a full refund.

My search for a comic reader continues although I don't think I'll get one under 200 euro. The high end galaxy tabs and ipads are too expensive for me

Hah, my one was going grand until I saw an update on the Zenithink website. Downloaded it and it got halfway through the installation and it froze.

Now it won't turn on.

Just used one of the lads Nexus 7 tablets and tried a comic. Can read it perfectly without zooming in (which would be my biggest gripe). Sure it looks better on the 10 inch but completely readable on the 7 inch. Gonna wait for the Android event next week for a possible price drop in the Nexus 7. If not, I might go for the Kindle Fire, if it ever gets released in Ireland!

Was about to head and get the Nexus 7 yesterday when I said I would have one more look at the Zenithink c91 again. I opened it up and saw the LCD ribbon cable was a bit loose. I secured it and the lines disappeared. Tablet working perfect again, beaming!
